lets face it, how high was Nani's foot?

What about if he attempted an overhead/bicycle kick? Surely not deserving of a red. Maybe a telling off and a yellow but certainly not a red. The power players put into trying to perform a bicycle kick is far greater than the Nani sending off. Ref ruined what was a good game. Was nice to see United dominate the Real team and hold them back. No chance of that with 10 men. Real are too strong. Fuming here. At least there is the double to concentrate on now.

am afraid if he attempted an overhead kick and caught someone in the head then it would be a foul...I think you are talking about overhead kicks when he scores without making contact with another player...but if he makes contact with another head then it is a foul

Latest news is that they have got the money together to pay (it was just under £17000 they owed according to the local rag this morning).

My initial thought were similar to yours, the amount they owed would be pocket money to a 'star' player but, for the want of it, possible terminal trouble for the club.
Anyway it appears local benefactors and businesses have raised the money.

Agreed. But it would only be a foul, maybe a yellow. Certainly not a red. It was the red that changed the game and has justifiably angered United fans and players.

On another note, Giggsy was class today.

The referee spoiled the game. Simple as that. Both teams, and both sets of supporters, even the saddoes who dislike both/either team were surprised at the decision. A great game up until then.

Ferguson's tactical nous is astounding. Who would have chose that team?

And Ferdinand and the roberee shook hands after the sarcastic applauding.

I just feel cheated of a classic game of football.

Must get out on the bike more :smile:
